Hello and welcome to the 278th

0:14

edition of the Dyrobi podcast

0:16

. I am so happy to be with you today

0:18

. I am Dave Sherwin , the host of the podcast

0:20

, and I appreciate you , and

0:23

one of the reasons I appreciate you is because you could be listening to a real podcast with a . I appreciate you and one of the reasons I appreciate you is because you could

0:25

be listening to a real podcast with

0:27

a real podcaster and instead

0:29

you're listening to me and I appreciate it . And

0:32

guess what ? This is kind

0:34

of a real podcast . This

0:36

is ranked number 215 of

0:38

all podcasts in the United States for nutrition

0:40

, but but it's

0:43

number 48 in Mongolia . To

0:46

my Mongolian friends , thank

0:49

you so much . I appreciate you being here

0:51

. I hope this is helping you with

0:53

your health and I'm glad

0:55

to know that you have electricity

0:57

to be able to listen to a podcast , because

1:00

here in the United States we probably

1:02

have pretty skewed ideas about what it's

1:04

like to live in Mongolia . So

1:07

thank you very much for joining me , as

1:10

well as those of you from Fiji

1:12

and other countries around the world

1:14

. It's so fun to do stuff like this and be connected

1:16

by the interwebs and sharing

1:19

our ideas and listening to each other . I

1:21

love listening to podcasts . I love doing my podcast

1:23

. You obviously do as well

1:25

, or you would not be here listening to

1:27

my obscure little Nairobi podcast

1:30

. That I love to do , and I appreciate

1:32

those listeners that come and

1:34

join me here Now . Today I have a really interesting

1:37

topic . It's one I don't think I've spent

1:39

a whole lot of time on , but

1:41

it's pretty darn cool and

1:43

it could make a huge difference in your own

1:45

health . You have heard

1:47

me talk about prioritizing protein , and

1:50

you probably haven't just heard that from me . Many

1:53

, many people in the health industry are

1:56

more and more talking about protein

1:59

. We talked about fat , and

2:02

all kinds of very smart people

2:04

said everything ought to be fat-free . Fat

2:07

is making us fat , and

2:09

so that's what we did . We made fat-free

2:11

stuff . We created all kinds of frankenfoods

2:13

. You name it . There's a fat-free

2:15

frankenfood . Try

2:17

to say that fast Fat-free frankenfood

2:19

. Then

2:22

later on it became carbs keto

2:24

, paleoo , low carb . Get rid of

2:26

those carbs , those nasty carbs , those farmers

2:29

. They're growing stuff made

2:31

of carbs and we shouldn't be eating it . That's

2:34

what's making us fat . So let's get

2:36

rid of all the carbs . And

2:39

now what we're finding out is that perhaps

2:42

the most important of the three macros is

2:44

actually protein , which kind of supports

2:47

the carb-free or low-carb

2:49

crowd in a way , because

2:52

prioritizing protein generally

2:54

does mean eating fewer carbs

2:56

, but it's also a little bit of a

2:58

different animal . For example , prioritizing

3:01

protein is different than the carb

3:04

loading that athletes used to do , for example

3:06

, right . So carb loading used to be a thing huge big

3:08

plate of spaghetti before an event . Prioritizing

3:12

protein means getting

3:14

some protein in you before the event . However , filling

3:17

your gut with protein which is hard on the system

3:19

, difficult to digest , is not

3:22

exactly a recipe for performance . As

3:24

a matter of fact , the blood that you want

3:26

going to your muscles for performance instead

3:29

has to go to your stomach for digestion

3:31

not the best way to do things

3:33

. However , getting a little protein

3:36

before a weight training exercise

3:39

, for example a weight training workout , and

3:42

getting it right after , has been proven in multiple

3:44

studies to be a great time and way

3:47

to get what

3:49

you need those vital elements and amino

3:51

acids from the protein into your system so that

3:53

you get the maximum benefit . So

3:57

enter perfect

3:59

amino by body health . As

4:01

a matter of fact , I interviewed Dr David Minkoff

4:03

. If you just Google Dyrobi

4:06

podcast , minkoff

4:08

, m-i-n-k-o-f-f , it should

4:10

pop right up . He's a really

4:12

interesting guy . As a matter of fact , he's

4:14

completed many full-length

4:17

Ironman triathlons and in part

4:19

, you know , as he was doing that

4:21

, he was researching protein and

4:24

his body was kind of falling apart and he

4:26

is , you know , as it often does for ultra

4:28

endurance athletes . Oftentimes

4:30

we think of those people as being super healthy , but

4:33

in fact , of

4:35

course , doing ultra anything can

4:37

actually wear you out . It's a lot

4:39

of problems on your joints and soft tissue

4:42

and muscle . So he was searching

4:44

for the perfect protein that would fuel

4:46

him and help him in his recovery

4:48

and his gains , et cetera , and

4:51

he did as deep a dive as probably

4:53

anyone has ever done on

4:55

protein . And he is a medical doctor

4:58

, he's a scientist , he understands what he's doing

5:00

and in the end he

5:02

did discover that what it's about really

5:04

is amino acids . Protein breaks down into

5:06

amino acids and there's

5:08

a certain amount of amino acids that we

5:10

all need , but we only get a few of them from plants

5:13

. We only get all of them from

5:15

some meats and now

5:18

from his supplement , which is Perfect

5:20

Amino . Now where

5:23

Perfect Amino really shines is

5:25

that it's a tablet form

5:27

of protein that

5:29

is the perfect

5:31

aminos . It has the exact

5:34

mix that you need , and

5:36

five of them before a workout

5:38

is very easy on the stomach , but it's

5:40

the equivalent of taking 30 grams of protein

5:42

. Now , this is important

5:45

because you are probably aware by now that you

5:47

should be consuming between 0.7

5:49

grams per body weight that

5:52

you weigh and one gram

5:54

per pound of body weight that you weigh . I

5:56

weigh 200 pounds , so I should

5:59

be consuming 200

6:01

grams of protein each day . Well , let me tell you what

6:03

. That is an annoying amount of chicken

6:05

to eat and you

6:07

get sick of chicken breast pretty darn fast if

6:09

that's your solution . So

6:13

here's what I've been doing for quite some time and I'm actually

6:15

surprised I haven't done this episode

6:17

before , because I've been taking

6:19

perfect aminos for years and

6:22

the fact that I'm only now getting around to going

6:24

. Oh , wait , a minute , I haven't kind

6:26

of bragged on these things on the podcast

6:29

. I had to kind of dive in . As a matter

6:31

of fact , I did a bunch of research . There's an article

6:33

on our blog now , blogdairobicom

6:35

about

6:37

perfect aminos that really goes into depth on this

6:40

. If you want to go , check that out . But

6:43

back to my point about getting enough protein . It's hard

6:45

and protein

6:47

is expensive . Protein is typically

6:49

the most expensive item on the plate

6:52

and because

6:54

of that most people eat too many

6:56

refined carbs , right Like

6:58

if you look at the average person's shopping cart as

7:00

they're getting ready to check out , is

7:02

it full of meat and eggs

7:05

and God forbid

7:07

, tofu ? Not

7:10

usually there's breakfast

7:12

cereals and breads and pasta

7:14

and rice right , with

7:17

a few proteins off to the side

7:19

. So if

7:21

you have started down the path of trying to get

7:23

0.7 grams to one

7:25

gram of protein per pound of body weight that you

7:27

weigh if you weigh 150 , that's 150

7:30

grams of protein you have probably discovered

7:32

it's kind of hard and

7:34

when you take it matters . I

7:36

am currently lifting weights heavy about

7:39

three times a week and

7:41

now that I have perfect proteins , a

7:45

perfect amino sorry I take five

7:47

before my workout , the equivalent of 30

7:49

grams of protein . I take five

7:52

right after and I already have

7:54

60 grams of protein in my

7:56

system , leaving me 140

7:58

to get from my food . But I cheat

8:00

again with the perfect aminos . I take five more

8:03

with my dinner . Now

8:05

, depending on how much you weigh , you don't have to take five

8:07

at a time . You might take three at a time

8:09

or you might take , you

8:12

know , four or two . Whatever

8:14

, it depends on your budget as well . Although they're reasonably

8:17

priced , some people say that they're expensive

8:19

. Well , the

8:22

big bottle is 75 bucks

8:24

. So yeah , that's expensive , but let me

8:26

tell you it lasts . There's

8:28

300 in there , right

8:30

? So if you're taking three at a time , that's a hundred

8:33

servings of protein . Now , if you compare

8:35

that to food , especially

8:37

steak , this is a bargain

8:39

. This is an inexpensive way and

8:42

these are perfect aminos . A steak

8:44

you'll probably be lucky

8:46

to ingest 30% of

8:49

the nutritional value of a steak , because steak

8:52

is hard on your system to digest . I love

8:54

steak . I loved a tender

8:56

cooked steak as much as anyone else

8:58

but I am aware as a health expert

9:00

that it's difficult on

9:02

your system and there's a lot of research showing

9:04

we should cut down on our red meat and

9:08

so that isn't a good every

9:10

single day source of protein

9:13

. So perfect , aminos

9:15

is a fantastic addition to

9:18

your regimen . It's

9:20

carefully the pricing is carefully controlled

9:22

. It's going to be the same price whether

9:24

you buy it from us or buy it from Amazon . If you

9:26

buy it from us which I would really appreciate at dirobicom

9:29

you get reward points and we occasionally do

9:31

sales and don't tell Dr Minkoff , but sometimes

9:34

we do discount codes to

9:36

our list . And what I'm going to tell you right now podcast

9:38

10 , so you can save 10% . Not

9:41

really supposed to do that , but they

9:44

can . It's kind of a wink , wink , nod

9:46

, nod , nudge , nudge kind of a situation

9:48

where they know that we're going to give some

9:51

discounts to our users

9:53

occasionally our buyers . So

9:55

I guess I shouldn't call you a user , right

9:58

? Is that offensive ? Please don't be

10:00

offended . Just a slip of the tongue . Okay

10:03

, perfect aminos digest

10:06

at a incredibly

10:08

high rate , meaning

10:10

that for all

10:13

the weight that goes into your body , 99%

10:17

is absorbed as

10:19

protein , as amino acids . Compare

10:22

that to eggs For every bit

10:24

of the egg that you ingest , 48%

10:27

of it will turn into goodness within

10:29

your system . Meat , poultry

10:32

and fish is at about 32%

10:34

. Whey , soy and nuts is about 18%

10:36

. And your typical BCAA

10:39

? Believe it or not , I like BCAAs , I

10:41

like the taste of them , I like to drink them while I'm working

10:43

out , but they're not really an effective

10:45

supplement as sold

10:49

by many of the experts in the industry

10:51

. They have a 1% absorption

10:53

rate , so Perfect Amino is

10:55

at the top of the food chain , so to speak

10:57

, figuratively , in reality , in

10:59

every way , and something that

11:01

I highly recommend is I recommend

11:04

, as I said , I've been doing these for years

11:06

myself . They

11:08

are a paradigm shift in supplementation

11:10

. Everyone's talking about protein but

11:12

, again , if you've headed down the

11:15

road and you've tried to eat enough

11:17

protein , you've probably discovered very quickly

11:19

that it's expensive , it's

11:21

kind of hard to do and a supplement like Perfect

11:23

Amino can make a

11:25

huge difference in your ability

11:28

to consume and for

11:30

your body to utilize enough

11:32

protein to support your active and healthy

11:34

lifestyle . So , again , you'll find perfect aminos

11:36

at dyrobicom . Use

11:40

them however you like , take

11:42

what I said and then adapt it to your

11:44

own needs and your own budget , and

11:47

maybe you weigh less than I do , right ? It's also

11:49

, you know , this thing is very this is protein is very much based on your body weight

11:51

. This thing is very this is protein is very much based on your

11:53

body weight . If you're not lifting heavy , you'd likely

11:56

can be more on the 0.7 grams

11:59

of protein per body weight . So if you weigh 150

12:01

pounds , we're talking in the 120

12:04

gram range of

12:06

protein , and perfect amino

12:08

can make it a lot easier to do . So

12:11

you don't have to get quite so much out of food

12:13

, saving you some budget and

12:15

some chicken

12:17

and whatever else are your major

12:20

sources of protein . So until

12:23

next time , check out Perfect

12:25

Aminos at dyrobicom . Use the code

12:27

podcast10 to save 10%

12:30

, and I will see you again

12:32

on the next podcast . Whether you are in Fiji

12:35

or Mongolia or the United States

12:37

of America , I appreciate you listening to
